A Classy Wedding at The River Road & Jasmine House by Melissa Brewer Photography

From the Photographer:

They met soon after Lydia arrived at College of Charleston, when she was downtown with a friend, and he was out with some friends from the Citadel. Lydia says her first memory of him is seeing him and wondering how on Earth he could survive the heat and humidity while dressed in his wool Citadel uniform! They have been together ever since that first meeting, enduring a long distance relationship while she finishes her degree in Charleston, and he works at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department.From the decor, to the attire, to the toasts and dancing, every bit of their wedding day represented their love and personalities perfectly. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I want to tell the story of their wedding day in images. Trust me, with the pure emotion on everyone’s faces, you’ll have no problem feeling like you were a guest yourself! The vendor list is small, because Sarah Christmus Pollard at the River Road and Jasmine House Gardens took care of all planning, decor, catering, DJ, and day-of coordination! Other notes: The floral arrangements used for the ceremony were created by the bride’s mother, using plants from their own yard. Magnolia blossoms are the bride’s favorite flower.”
